Skin Biopsy
A skin biopsy is a minor medical procedure carried out to diagnose suspicious, persistent or unexplained skin lesions. It involves removing a small sample of skin for laboratory analysis.
At Refresh Medispa Amersham, as a CQC registered clinic, our specialists can offer all major biopsy techniques with expert precision, ensuring accurate diagnosis and safe, comfortable treatment.
About Skin Biopsy
Biopsies are recommended when:
- A mole changes in size, colour or shape
- A lesion bleeds, crusts or doesn’t heal
- A rash or skin condition is unclear or resistant to treatment
- Skin cancer needs to be ruled out
- A growth appears unusual or persists
We offer:
- Shave biopsy – ideal for raised lesions
- Punch biopsy – small cylindrical sample for diagnosis
- Scoop/curettage biopsy – superficial sampling
- Incisional biopsy – partial removal for deep lesions
- Excisional biopsy – complete removal including margins
All procedures are performed using sterile technique with local anaesthetic for maximum comfort.
Laboratory reports typically return within a few days.
